Warnings

We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.

Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be able to view those that you specifically subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their cable box and remote.

Caring for the Cabinet

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help remove spots of oily dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.

DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

Caring for the Screen

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.

Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen. These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image distortions.

Warnings

Thank you for purchasing JVC’s model HD-52G456, HD-55G456, HD-55G466 or HD-61Z456

HDTV-ready projection television which uses the high-quality HD-ILA projection system. This is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced televisions available today. It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using your television in order to learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time is in the Appendix.

Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using it.

In order to use the television for a long time

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this television, please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized below.

1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s normal operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the television that can be used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP LED indicator blinks in orange for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes out.

Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have passed, you can turn off the power.

2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp

Cooling is also performed while the television is being shut down.

When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are performed. When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 90 seconds. When the cooling is being performed, the LAMP LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every 3 seconds. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed.

After the cooling has been performed for 90 seconds, the power is turned off. Do not remove the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed. If the electrical plug is removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of malfunctions.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes behind the speaker grills.

3. The lamp is a consumable item

Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the picture becomes dark. The lamp is a user replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.

The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which the TV is being used.

6

Warnings

4. The television requires a lot of electrical power

It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another device. When connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device, or when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the electrical capacity of the socket.

Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short amount of time.

It subjects the television and the lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the lamp being shortened.

5. The screen is made of plastic

Handle the screen very carefully as it can scratch easily. Do not rub, hit or press on it with any hard objects. When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to the Appendix for details on how to clean the screen.

6. Caution! Warm air from the air ducts

This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating.

When placing the television, make sure not to locate it too close to wallpaper. The warm air could cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also, take care to keep children and pets away from the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a minor burn.

7. Caution! Moving this television

When lifting this television, Do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could cause it to detach, causing the television to fall.

8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use

The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use before it has a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the lamp.

9. Do not touch the lamp glass

If the lamp is used when there is dirt from fingers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.

10. ILA element characteristics

Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.

11. Condensation

When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets of water may form on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the screen may become dirty. In this case, wait until the condensation has gone before using the television.

12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this television

This television has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening up the rear cabinet will violate the copyright of the program or software shown on the television. Please do not open the rear cabinet.

13. Usable Time

Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is a possibility of the life of the lamp being shortened.
